Strategy/Usage

This unit can be useful in the early game against enemies like Metal Hippoe. This cat's attack rate and animation makes it a better unit then it could have been.

However take caution when using this cat against enemies that outrange him or come in swarms like Metal Doge or Super Metal Hippoe. It is generally recommended to unlock this unit's true form.

Regardless of whatever form you use, it's generally advised to stack many Hoop Cats, since a large enough stack can render even the most powerful metal enemies useless. Research Catcombos work well, but may take up needed space, so stacking before a metal boss comes out is encouraged. Meatshielding should suffice in many situations.

True Form

Hoopmaster finally gets more abilities that fix his normal/evolved form weak points. The increased freeze chance is very useful when fighting metal enemies and relies on less RNG. However the best point of this unit's true form is the increased range. Hoopmaster can now outrange deadly metal enemies such as Super Metal Hippoe or Sir Metal Seal.

Remember that the single target attack does not change through true form so take caution.
